Buy sustainable flowers 

In the FleuraMetz webshop, you can buy sustainably produced flowers and plants. Did you know that FleuraMetz, as part of the FM Group, has signed an agreement to strive for a 90% sustainable trade in the floriculture industry? We are also collaborating in relevant researches on packing material and more. Read everything about this subject on our blogs.

Certification in the webshop

If the greenhouse or farm where the product is cultivated, possesses one of the 14 specialised certificates from the FSI basket, or is certified with MPS-A of FlorEcuador, you will see a sustainability icon. Filter on the certificates that are important for customers. Why a specific certificate is included in the FSI basket can be read on their website.

Bugs on crop

Sustainable production is often operated without the use of chemicals but by using the power of nature and (good) insects to keep harmful bugs away from the flowers and plants. Therefore, it is possible that crop still carry a few of these good bugs or a residue of organic nutrients. This is not harmful and only shows that your plant or flower was sustainably produced. When in doubt, you can always query the origin of a product with your salesperson. Or read the story behind the Preferred Supplier in the webshop.

- Fairtrade flowers

FM Group is also Fairtrade certified as a wholesale company, which is a different certificate than mentioned above. It means that we are licensed to purchase and sell Fairtrade flowers. Our salespersons can help you source these products. This selection of flowers are often a bit dearer as Fairtrade certified growers must look after the right working environment for their employees including a fair salary. This certificate however, does not concern the growing method of a product. Therefore, Fairtrade is not listed under the same category as MPS-A and FlorEcuador.
